Wrapping up the February schedule is For the Love of Clara, with Delores Zeigler (mezzo-soprano) and Rita Sloan (piano) on Feb. 29.

One of the great love stories to have captured the imagination of music-lovers, Clara and Robert Schumann’s romance and marriage have been the stuff of fairy tales since their initial meeting when she was 9 and he was 18. Featuring acclaimed American mezzo-soprano, Delores Zeigler, and pianist, Rita Sloan this program tells the tragic story of their romance through letters, diaries, but most of all their music.
